Royal Academy of Dutch Language and Literature

The Royal Flemish Academy for Dutch Language and Literature (Dutch: Koninklijke Academie voor Nederlandse Taal en Letteren, pronounced [ˈkoːnɪŋkləkə ˌaːkaːˈdeːmi voːr ˈneːdərlɑntsə ˈtaːl ɛn ˈlɛtərə(n)], abbr.

KANTL) is an institution focused on the study and promotion of the Dutch language in Flanders.

The Royal Flemish Academy of Dutch Language and Literature (abbreviated to KANTL) is a government organization which was established in 1886 by Royal Decree as Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie voor Taal- en Letterkunde.

However, since 2005 this has changed to a more general calling for those working in the field of Dutch language and literature.

Thus a prize is offered for an essay, for a study on the old Dutch language, for literature, for poetry, for prose and for culture.
